Who we are

Inclusive

We seek to follow the example of Jesus by practicing inclusive love, care, and intentional hospitality. People of every race, age, sexual orientation, marital status, faith story, physical or mental ability, economic circumstance, and political perspective are welcome in the life of this congregation.

We recognize that faithful people may hold different opinions and express their faith in different ways. As God loves us, we seek to love one another and serve together in the name of Christ.

All persons are welcome at the Lord’s Table. All persons may receive Holy Communion and are eligible for baptism and membership in the church.

Grounded in Scripture

Our faith is shaped by the Wesleyan understanding that Christian life is guided by Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. Among these, Scripture holds primary authority as the witness to God’s creating, redeeming, and sustaining relationship with humanity.

Through the reading and interpretation of Scripture, we seek to understand God’s call for our lives and for our community.
